Finally got that wood together; the wood that I purchased a year ago hoping to get to this project. Needless to say the young man was getting anxious and asking when I was going to build his bed.

So happy to have this done for him.

Lesson learned: Don't stain and poly during the winter season, even if you think you are relatively well ventilated with a few windows open in the basement! (the last of this job will have to wait until spring)

Apparently you should change the queen length wise and width wise. So unfortunately this bed is a few inches too long. Stink!

I also made the headboard too high. The mattress I had did not reach to the top of the bottom board on the headboard. We fixed that easily enough by trimming the headboard legs down 5 inches.

No biggee!

Especially when the hubs carried it out and fixed it for me. <3 font="">3>

Now to get the whole room together. The idea I was given is a lime green accent wall and lime green shelves to show off his Lego collection. That will have to take place in the spring as well. Thinking it will look great though and really show off the bed. Until

It has been well over 2 years since I last posted anything on my blog.

There have been 2 very good reasons for that.

Reason #1 Major house renovation. The Expected Addition!

More pictures to follow in another post.

Reason #2 A New Baby Girl. Our Unexpected Addition!

Just a reminder that it is a good thing we are not the ones in control. What a blessing she has been and a very welcome addition. In fact, we finished our addition just before this little munchkin arrived and her room 45 minutes before my water broke. Seriously!!!

About Me

I am learning to find the things in life that give me great joy. Enjoying time with my 3 kids and my husband are among one of those things. Another is finding out what I am passionate about and spending time doing more of that. The more I learn, the more I see how God has given me a desire to create and enjoy life. I hope you find pleasure in some of my joyful discoveries.
